I’ve met many people who want more out of life. I regularly talk to many people who feel that they want something different but have no idea what that ‘different’ is. Plenty of people are simply unhappy where they are – whether it’s because their stuck in an unloving relationship, they don’t like the job they’re doing or, perhaps, they’ve just been doing the same job for so long that they get nothing out of it anymore. Many, who take the route of personal development, want more out of life but they don’t know what that ‘more’ is.
Do you want more out of life? Because, if you do, you must have some idea of what more actually means. There’s no point in longing for something else when you’ve no idea what that something else might look like and feel like. To get what you want out of life, you’ve to know what you want.
In chatting recently with a client who has been doing the same job for over a decade, I was surprised by how she had no idea whatsoever of what she really want to do. She was looking at her options from the normal narrow-minded perspective of her perceived strengths and weaknesses, her career to date and, most chillingly, her perceived need to pay the bills. You may find those last few words to be a little strange – bills are real, they must be paid. But unless you’re complete idiot, you wouldn’t dream of doing something that would leave you destitute
What holds us back, however, is that our commitments always seem to be uppermost in our minds. The big problem is confirmed my recent research that suggests that the normal person is obsessed with money and fearful of not having enough of the stuff (whatever enough might actually mean). Forget about your financial commitments – they will be more than adequately looked after if you put your heart’s desire first. I’m not suggesting that you be reckless about deciding what you might like to change in your life, I’m simply suggesting that there needs to be a very different order to your priorities.
And, in setting your priorities, you need to know what would really – and I mean really, really – turn you on. What would make you leap out of bed each and every morning? What would turn you on so much that you wouldn’t have to work, it would be a labour of love? Ask yourself: What is my ideal life? And, most importantly from the perspective of your all-important subconscious mind (the part of you that creates your reality), what would your ideal life look like, feel like, sound like, smell like and taste like?
A strange question? Not at all – the subconscious mind believes in the snapshots that it holds dearly within its depths. These snapshots are five-sensory – after all, you make sense of the world by using your five senses and it is through these five senses that you were programmed to live the boring life that has you so disillusioned right now. The key is to excite your subconscious mind and the real excitement in life will simply follow – oh and by the way, your financial commitments will be more than adequately catered for.
